You will be prompted for non-free firmware needed by kernel modules
loaded during the installation and you may provide them if you choose
to. This does not cover non-free firmware needed by other kernel modules
loaded after the installation. Please read the sections in the Guide
concerned with firmware for a way of discovering whether you are missing
anything which is in non-free.
If non-free firmware is provided during during the installation you will
have a non-free archive written into sources.list.

All these will not be on the system.

With 'Install' d-i will choose the default option presented in exert
